Lenin Kazoba Secretary
Mr. Lenin Kazoba, a dedicated director and co-founder of the Tanzanian Youth Coalition (TYC), has devoted nearly two decades to TYC’s noble mission. Over the years, Lenin has spearheaded a range of transformative projects, leaving an indelible mark on Tanzania’s youth empowerment landscape.
In 2008, TYC initiated the groundbreaking “”Youth Platform”” project, a platform that facilitated dialogues between young individuals and local leaders in Dar es Salaam. These dialogues addressed critical development issues, fostering a sense of community and collaboration. As a result, numerous young people were empowered to establish Youth SACCOs, enabling them to access vital funds from the local government. This initiative, known as “”4, 4, 2″” (4 for Women, 4 for Youth, and 2 for people with disabilities), became a catalyst for positive change.
Parallel to his impactful work with TYC, Lenin is pursuing studies in Business Management, reflecting his commitment to personal growth and professional development. His unwavering dedication to youth empowerment and community development serves as an inspiration to all who have the privilege of working alongside him.
